Alice in Wonderland Tattoo
Many people like to decorate their bodies with fairy-themed tattoos. Most of them apply body images with the heroes of the well-known work "Alice in Wonderland". We will tell you about what the images of the characters from this fairy tale mean, and what tattoos exist with them, in the article.
Peculiarities
Alice in Wonderland is a famous fairy tale story written by Lewis Carroll. It can rightfully be considered an integral part of world literature. The characters from this fairy tale story are so much loved by many that people often put their images on their bodies as tattoos. Especially popular is such a hero of this tale as the Cheshire Cat - a mysterious and mystical animal with a wide smile. Tattoos with his image usually look very impressive and defiant, which corresponds to the image of this character. Usually, both women and men, who are distinguished by their eccentricity, are tattooed with him.
If we talk about the meaning of the tattoo with the image of the Cheshire Cat, then it is only positive. It is believed that such a tattoo will be a magnet for all the best - good luck, happiness and optimism. In addition, such a body pattern will emphasize the unusualness of its owner, on his developed imagination and fantasy. The image of Alice herself on tattoos is also quite common, especially on the bodies of girls.
Such a wearable image suggests that its owner is in many ways similar to the heroine of the famous fairy tale: she is dreamy, romantic, curious, believes in miracles, has a developed imagination and simply cannot live without adventure.
The image of the Queen of Hearts is also very common among the tattoos that women prefer. This charismatic heroine on the tattoo means eccentricity, the desire for power, and sometimes even some hysteria. Such a tattoo is usually chosen by domineering natures who do not want to listen to others, who are characterized by impulsiveness. The image, where the mad hatter is present, symbolizes the brightness of life, its richness and fullness. The March Hare is a rather strange hero. It means striving for extreme and thrill, for the achievement of which a person is ready to perform unusual actions for many.
The image with a caterpillar from this tale is also very popular and has its own interpretation. In the fairy tale, this creature is shown somewhat passive: the caterpillar sits on a hookah mushroom and smokes all day, doing nothing, although it has a lot of knowledge. For this reason, such a tattoo symbolizes high intelligence, but at the same time passivity, lack of desire for change.
Types and sketches of tattoos
Tattoos with fairy tale characters can be different. They are depicted in both monochrome and color, using a wide variety of shades. The heroes themselves in such wearable drawings can also be depicted in different ways; nothing limits a person's imagination here. So, if we talk about such a character as the Cheshire Cat, then the picture can depict both his smile, which dissolves in the air, and he himself, or rather, his muzzle.
In full size, that is, with the whole body, the Cheshire Cat is rarely depicted. When portraying this hero, special emphasis is usually placed on his smile and bright cat's eyes, which are distinguished by their depth and piercing. Often such a tattoo is complemented with an image of floral elements, a tree branch or one of the character's quotes - this is chosen at the discretion of the owner of the tattoo.
Alice in such wearable drawings is also depicted in different ways. Quite often, her image is simply copied from a book illustration. In this case, the heroine can be depicted either in full growth or her portrait. In this case, the portrait can be either cartoonish, or stylized and more traced, which somewhat complicates the work of the tattoo artist. The image of this heroine is mostly depicted as independent, that is, there are no extraneous elements on the tattoo. However, in some cases, such a drawing is supplemented by various quotes.
Sometimes the Cheshire Cat may also be present, which constantly confuses Alice. In this case, the tattoo can already be an integral and large-scale composition with a certain plot. The same can be said for the Mad Hatter tattoo. At the same time, both this hero himself and only his hat can be present on the tattoo. In the second case, the picture is usually supplemented with a quote from a fairy tale.
At the same time, we note that the image of the mad hatter is most often copied from the film by Tim Burton, who decided to film this tale. Johnny Depp plays the Mad Hatter in this movie.
The White March Rabbit can also be depicted on a tattoo in different ways. Often he is depicted in a top hat and camisole, and in his paws he holds a watch or a cup of tea. As a rule, the emphasis in such images is placed precisely on the eyes of the character, in which madness is read. However, this applies only to medium or large tattoos; it is unlikely that it will be possible to draw everything in such detail and expressiveness on small body drawings.
No less often on tattoos is the image of the Queen of Hearts, who in the work plays the role of a villain. Usually her portrait is depicted on body drawings. Moreover, the image of the Queen of Hearts can be taken both from a book or cartoon, or from a film by Tim Burton, where she was played by actress Helena Bonham Carter. However, quite often, instead of the queen herself, a rose is depicted, which is painted in blood red.As a rule, such a rose is complemented by the following quote from the Queen of Hearts: "Cut off her head!" The caterpillar is also often depicted in such drawings. This image is usually performed in blue, while a hookah and his favorite mushroom are always next to him.
Location options
You can place a tattoo with the heroes of the well-known fairy tale by Lewis Carroll on any part of the body, this does not affect the meaning of the body pattern. An important role here is played by the scale of the image, as well as the wishes of the owner. So, if the tattoo is miniature, then it will look best in those places that do not differ in a large area of skin. These areas include the wrist, leg, collarbone, shoulder blade, or ankle.
If you are a fan of large images, then in this case it is recommended to give preference to the following places: back, chest, shoulder and sleeve. It is in these places that large body designs will look most harmonious.
